Template:COVID-19 thyroid disorders
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1] Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief:
Overview
COVID-19 has been found to affect several organs and body systems, including the endocrine system, with short-term and possible long-term consequences.
Historical Perspective
In March 2020, the first case of subacute thyroiditis in an 18-year-old woman with COVID-19 was described. [1]
Classification
There is no established system for the classification of COVID-19-associated thyroid disorders.
Pathophysiology
The exact pathogenesis of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases is not fully understood. However, the following hypotheses have been suggested for the development of thyroid dysfunction in COVID-19 patients.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors are essentially involved in SARS-CoV-2 internalization into host cells. the thyroid gland is amongst the organs which have the highest levels of ACE2 expression and activity. Therefore, following SARS-CoV-2 infection, thyroid damage could result from either a direct or immune-mediated injury.
- COVID-19 may also cause an immune system imbalance and in severe cases a cytokine storm, which may break immunotolerance in susceptible patients, leading to new onset of immune-mediated thyroiditis, exacerbating a previous thyroid disease, or inducing a recurrence of thyroid disease.
Causes
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Differentiating COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases from other Diseases
Epidemiology and Demographics
Several cases of subacute thyroiditis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, myxedema coma, Grave's disease, atypical thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis have been reported in COVID-19 patients worldwide [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [8] [9] [1]
Risk Factors
There are no established risk factors for COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Screening
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
A number of observational studies have shown that COVID-19 infection may be linked to some thyroid diseases, including:
- Subacute thyroiditis
- Graves’ disease
- Non-thyroidal illness or euthyroid sick syndrome
- Thyrotoxicosis
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Diagnosis
Diagnostic Study of Choice
The diagnosis of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases is made based on the thyroid function test (TFT), which measures serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
History and Symptoms
Physical Examination
Laboratory Findings
Electrocardiogram
- There are no ECG findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid disease.
- However, the following findings may be seen on ECG in patients with thyrotoxicosis:
- Tachycardia, ...
X-ray
There are no x-ray findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Echocardiography or Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiographyfindings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
- Thyroid ultrasoongraphy
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
MRI
There are no MRI findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Other Imaging Findings
Other Diagnostic Studies
Treatment
Medical Therapy
Surgery
Surgery is not a treatment option for patients with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Primary Prevention
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.
Secondary Prevention
